Channel Description

Akashinga delivers resilient nature conservation programmes of global significance through community-driven partnerships. Our name, meaning ‘the Brave Ones’ in Zimbabwe’s Shona language, reflects our unique approach to conservation by acknowledging the people at the heart of our collective fight for the future of the planet. At Akashinga, we centralise social impact around the empowerment of women to achieve nature conservation at scale. To date, in collaboration with local communities, we safeguard 13 million acres of invaluable wilderness, nurturing a planet protected for generations. For over 15 years, we have supported or led 50+ conservation initiatives, created nature-based economies through social impact and rural development, and protected vast wilderness landscapes across Africa and the species that call those landscapes home.
